    Window Access Minimized/Maximized Problem

    I am calling this function on a button "fSetAccessWindow (SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)" to minimize my application so I can use my desktop area and have the icon to return to my application, but when I click in the Icon to return the Access Window is not hidden anymore, it shows the access window and my form. How can it be hide again as soon it gets maximized?

    Try:
    Application.RunCommand acCmdAppMinimize

    instead of "fSetAccessWindow (SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)"

    The same thing. it minimize and show the icon on taskbar so I can re-open but when I click to re-open the application my form shows normal but in the background shows ms access windows too... What I need is to hide it when I get back to the application. I tried to call "fSetAccessWindow (HIDE)" on Form Resise() but didnt work. the way I found out was put this code on mousemove() at Detail of the form but I was wondering if I could get that when I click to the icon on taskbar to reopen the applciation.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
